Tensions are running high in the squad room in this tense new episode of Law & Order: SVU.

A young woman is found raped and beaten. The investigation leads to a sex trafficking ring, led by strip club owner Perry Cannavaro (played by guest star Chazz Palminteri), which is under investigation by the FBI.

However, the mystery deepens when it turns out that a high-level coverup involving court officials may be operating behind the scenes.
